Herbs Fried Rice

I think everyone knows how to make good plate of fried rice. I’ve fried tons of it my life using different type of ingredients and by far I think this is my favorite. My friend Richard told me one day he uses herbs like kaffir lime leaves and curry leaves from his garden to make his fried rice and it turn out really good. What a great idea for a change from our regular fried rice. Inspired by his fried rice this is something I came up with. I hope you try this out as I am sure you are going to like it too.

1. Heat up wok on high heat and add in 2 tbsp of olive oil. Put in shallots, ginger and garlic and stir fry until fragrant. Add in chilies, lemongrass, curry leaves and kaffir lime leaves. Continue to stir fry until you can smell all the spices.
2. Add in the chicken and continue to stir fry until the chicken changes color. Add in shrimp; stir fry until the shrimp is slightly pink.
3. Push all the meat to the side of the wok, add in another tbsp of oil, and pour in the eggs. Scramble the eggs for a few second or until half cook, add in the rice and all the seasoning.
4. Continue to stir fry for another 3 minutes. Check seasoning, dish out and serve warm.

Love anything with Kaffir lime leaf in it...very fragrant.With the same ingredients,replace the rice with bee hoon pun sedap.I will try this..sooner than later as I am in a super lazy mood to cook anything fancy.Thanks for the recipe.
